MANILA, Philippines — Some felt Manny Pacquiao's lossto Timothy Bradley was a complete robbery, others thought Pacquiaohad just lost his killer instinct, while others saw it as anotherdeal in the lucrative business that has become boxing. And netizens around social networking sites, when just minutesafter the split decision was announced in favor of Bradley arematch seemed already like a done deal. "Absolutely, I have to give Manny [Pacquiao] a rematch, said the newly crowned WBO weltwerweight titlist Bradley in theinterview at the ring with HBO a thought which got an immediatenod from the People's Champ himself. And with the millions of dollars from seat sales to pay per viewrevenues set to come in with an anticipated rematch like this,even Top Rank Promoter Bob Arum, who had suggested the month ofNovember as a date, admits he would make a lot of money. What's the promo code for this fight? Choreographed! said@kj3tweets in response to @INQUIRERSports' question onTwitter. When the comments on Pacquiao's first loss in seven years snapping a tremendous 15-fight winning streak most fans onTwitter were either stunned or upset with the decision, but a lotof netizens thought they can see right through. I knew it, gusto lang ng rematch…pera pera na lang ba (Hejust wanted a rematch, is it all about money?), said@mjmalabanan. Game is obviously fixed. Bradley even said the date of therematch. Nov 10., said @mondalborte. "The rematch was already schedule prior to the fight! said@JSCasting, also on Twitter, while @BrownEvangelist even jokinglysuggested, "Oh, bukas na daw yung rematch (The rematch istomorrow)." And with a setback, though unconvincing for some, of this magnitude which could leave a stain in Pacquiao's legacy it's impossible not float the name of archrival FloydMayweather Jr., who's serving time in jail at the moment,around. Negotations between Mayweather and Pacquiao's camps haverepeatedly broken down because of money and some think thismight be the inch Mayweather has been looking for so he could tiltthe negotiating table to his favor. The loss is a strategic bait for Mayweather next year, said@aldrinpogi, as the undefeated Mayweather could gain momentumknowing Pacquiao could be beaten. Even Ricardo in a spirited discussion in the comments section ofINQUIRER.net had the same theory about Pacquiao's loss. Why Pacquiao lost, it's purely business reasons. 1, Bothfighters are under Arum. 2. It is a bait for Mayweather.Pacquiao can be beaten. 3. Arum sees another blockbustertrilogy, he said. Some spectators, though, are questioning whether Pacquiao whohasn't knocked out an opponent since 2009 still has thatkiller instict to finish his opponents off like he did in hisheyday. With the another fight going all 12 rounds fans can't helpbut compare the Pacman who knocked Ricky Hatton cold and beatAntonio Margarito and Miguel Cotto to a pulp to the one who'sbeen settling for a decision in the last few fights. I am a Paquiao fan but I didn't see his passion in thisfight. He is not in the moment, no aggression, not a warrior, said @mengomana on Twitter. Manny [Pacquiao] has become softer inside & out, said@micofrappe. If there's anything wrong with what Manny [Pacquiao] didtoday, yeah that's it. Killer instinct… dapat pinatumbana kanina [He should have knocked Bradley out earlier], said@sirjhaydelacruz. Pacquiao's affinity to religion has become stronger thanever, spending his free time during his training camp over Biblestudies compared to worldlier pursuits and some peoplecouldn't help but notice the change it brought. The Bible is how I have peace of mind and relax. In my life thisthe new Manny Pacquiao. In boxing, I still wanna be better, saida beaming Pacquiao in an interview with HBO before the fight. "There's nothing wrong being religious but ever sinceManny [Pacquiao] changed, he became soft & lost his killerinstinct when it matters most," said @IdrisMiraflor. Others, though, saw Pacquiao's being gentle as simplyadmirable in the face of the loss. Despite believing he won thefight, Pacquiao still urged the people to respect thejudges' decision. The result isn't really that bad. The fight has shown theworld how humble and religiously faithful our Pambansang Kamaois, said @maAYAfrancisco. But the most reverberating cry that was heard all day from Filipinoand foreign fans, international celebrities and even boxing media,alike was this: Pacquiao was robbed of the victory. To take the belt away from a champion you have to be convincinglydominant. Bradley wasn't. Even he thought so, tweetedformer Representative Gilbert Remulla to @INQUIRERsports, using hisaccount @GilbertCRemulla. Terrible decision. [Timothy] Bradley could have won at least 1-2rounds but Manny Pacquiao clearly won, said @pat_laroco onTwitter. Robbery! Pacquiao had a tremendous edge in punches landedcompared to Bradley, said @kenbpangilinan. Those two judges who scored it for Bradley have ZERO credibilitynow and should never judge another boxing match, said@Kswagger85. Boxing writers from the US, who have been covering Pacquiao in thepast decade, also couldn't shake off the disbelief of whathas just transpired. Presser is over. Sense of disbelief by everyone here. Thiswasn't arguing a close fight. This was outrageous, saidESPN's Dan Rafael on his Twitter account. Bradley is gone and Manny is here [at the presser]. [Pacquiao]Says he respects decision but 100 percent believes he won. Idon't respect that decision, he added. I am shocked, stunned, said Yahoo! Sports Kevin Iole, alsoon his Twitter. I had Pacquiao 9 to 3. I thought Pacquiao landedmore punches and the harder punches. Win or lose, though, fans still naturally got Pacquiao's back and most of them still want to see him exact revenge and beatBradley up, another time.
